0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Have you spoken to her family? - I don't know them.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Well, I know the brother a little bit.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Well, it's Phoebe, really. She's...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- she's a little concerned about her.- Oh?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well...the thing is, no-one has...
0:17:22 > 0:17:26well, none of her friends have seen her in over two weeks.

0:17:30 > 0:17:34No, you don't understand, Doctor Quirke.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I haven't seen April in four-and-a-half years
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- and she lives around the corner from me.- Oh.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44No, I'm sorry to say that the only thing we ever hear from April

0:17:54 > 0:17:55April is...
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Do you think that if you asked your mother she might know where she is?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Not at this time, Doctor Quirke.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Look, what I will say is that knowing April,

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Don't you think he was awfully quick to tell two strangers
0:18:44 > 0:18:46what a disaster his family is?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- He might be beyond caring.- How could you not care about your sister?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Her family have heard nothing, you say?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26No, she sent in a sick note and that's the last anybody's heard.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Have you seen it, the sick note?- No.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Give us a lift with that, will you?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Problem is, Doctor Quirke, people go missing every day.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Sometimes they just turn up, sometimes they never do.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Thank you, Marie.- Yes, ma'am.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Mrs Latimer, my daughter is Phoebe Griffin.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- Perhaps you know her? - I know who she is.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58You've already been to see my son Oscar.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Then you'll know that
0:24:00 > 0:24:03nothing has been heard from April for some weeks now.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06So you called the police on my behalf?
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Well, Inspector Hackett is here in an unofficial capacity, so far.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17- And what capacity are you here in? - Er...the thing is, Mrs Latimer,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20April hasn't been to work, she hasn't been seen,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22her flat is empty.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- She's moved? - No. Her things are all still there.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Doctor Quirke asked my advice, and I suggested as next-of-kin you might know where she's gone.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38Well, the sad fact is I don't. She leads her own life.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41That's how she wants it and that's how it is.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well, is there anybody that she might...
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I've just told you, she leads her own life.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I can't afford to allow myself to get upset about this anymore.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57She is my daughter, and I have to love her, of course,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00but how can I?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03She's never let me. There you are.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10Well...other people are entitled to love her, aren't they?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11DOORBELL RINGS
0:25:13 > 0:25:14You're impertinent, Doctor Quirke.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And from what I hear, you're in no position yourself
0:25:17 > 0:25:19to challenge anyone on the duties of a parent.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- KNOCK ON DOOR - Yes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26Oh, God...it's bitter out there.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Inspector Hackett, I presume? - Minister.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Oh, don't call me Minister,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35we don't bother with titles and all that around here.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Bill will suffice.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Is that tea fresh?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Sit down, sit down.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45So, this niece of mine, what is it this time?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Another boyfriend up in court?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Apparently she hasn't telephoned her friends in a week.- Is that all?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- HE CHUCKLES - That's a relief.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56She's probably down the country with some young fella, what!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Sorry, Celia.- Yes.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Well. If you'll excuse me.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07I'll leave you gentlemen to it.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Oh, for Gods' sake! Come on.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I need some air.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25SEAGULLS SQUAWK
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Poor Celia.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32She's at her wit's end, lads.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35April's caused her nothing but heartache.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Her father died when she was nine or ten. Probably didn't help,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43if you want to take the charitable view.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47But I'm inclined to think she'd be exactly the same even if he'd lived.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Minister, we found blood on the floor beside April's bed.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- In her bed?- No, down between the floorboards like someone
0:26:55 > 0:26:58tried to clean it up, but, well, it's a devil to get rid of.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Obviously, we didn't mention anything to Mrs Latimer,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- but I have a fella looking at it for me now.- What fella?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06From the forensics unit.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Who does he report to, you? - Me, yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14- They don't go blabbing about the place, do they?- No, sir.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- I'd hate for Celia to hear some silly tittle-tattle.- Of course.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Ah, Christ.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Is there anybody that your niece might have been seeing or...?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Anybody that she might have been afraid of?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- You a detective as well now, Quirke? - No.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34What makes you think you're entitled to ask me personal questions?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Well, I just thought that we were all...
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I'm not sure I care what you thought.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- Marching into an old woman's house and...- Minister, that was my, er...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Doctor Quirke is a city pathologist,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47he's here with me today in his professional capacity.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Oh, is that right?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I heard you were retired out of your job recently, no?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55No, I was in Saint John of the Cross.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Oh, that's right. Your nerves, was it?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59- No, drink.- Oh, yes.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03That's what I heard.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07Just stay close to me on this blood stain or whatever it is, Inspector.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Right, I have to vote on some blasted private member's bill, so...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I'll wish you good morning.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Minister.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22When are you getting back to work?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- Soon, I suppose.- Yeah.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Sooner the better, I'd say, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34DOORBELL RINGS
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Come on out of there! - DOG BARKING
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Am I late?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Only three quarters of an hour.- Oh.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Hope you like your steak well done.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Rose Crawford is on the prowl.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00She asked for your number.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Don't feed the dog at the table. - Sorry, sorry.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07There was some talk at the board meeting on Friday,
0:29:07 > 0:29:12- people wondering about your plans. - What people?
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Your chap in pathology, what's his name, Sinclair?
0:29:17 > 0:29:18He just wants my job, that's all.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, you better watch out or he'll get it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Look, Mal, I appreciate that you're cooking for me
0:29:24 > 0:29:27but you don't have to keep checking up on me all the time.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I'm not checking up on you!
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Do you not think I might just like seeing you from time to time?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Not really, no.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39HE CHUCKLES
0:29:42 > 0:29:43I was going to ask you
0:29:43 > 0:29:47to come to the Society of Corpus Christi dinner with me.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51No, listen, there's no mass or prayers or anything.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53It's a charity bash.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Few dances, few speeches, we'll have a laugh.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- Mm-hm. - Sarah and I went every year.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07I just...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11..don't want to go on my own.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21It's usually crawling with spinsters and widows.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Oh, fabulous.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Now, do you want some trifle?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32And don't worry, there's no sherry in it, Phoebe told me not to.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Oh, just in case I fly off the handle?
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- Has she mentioned anything about April Latimer to you?- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- That she was missing. - Missing?! My backside!
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I'd put a guinea on it, says she's got in trouble
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- and gone to London to get it fixed. - Oh, yeah?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56AND a ferocious drink problem.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00She's on thin ice at the hospital, according to Professor Moriarty.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03If she hasn't already fallen through, that is.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Hello, Margaret.- Doctor Quirke! You're back.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Yeah, I'm just trying to catch up before I hit the grindstone.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- Can I, er...can I work away in here? - Requests in writing.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48HE SIGHS
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Can I drop it up to you later?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Go on.- Thanks.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- You're looking well, by the way. - Oh, you're a big liar, Margaret!
0:33:07 > 0:33:11MAN: ..why didn't she throw herself out the other window?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14She would have landed on Dawson Street,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16and been out of my jurisdiction! LAUGHTER
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Doctor Quirke! Er, I didn't know you were...
0:33:22 > 0:33:27This is Jim. James Minor from the Evening Press.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Yeah, we've met. I was, erm... Doctor Sinclair here was just
0:33:31 > 0:33:37giving me a bit of background on the lady who jumped off the, er...
0:33:37 > 0:33:38jumped off the...
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- It's very sad.- Really?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Can you go and sort out the post
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- that's building up in the dispatch box?- Yes. Of course.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Yeah, I better...- Before you go,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- could I have a word with you, Mr Minor?- Yeah, of course.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Call me Jimmy, will you?- Jimmy.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- You're a friend of April Latimer's, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06So what do you think happened to her?
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- What happened to her?- Well, you're a man of the world. I can see that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13Well...
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Look, I know that Phoebe idolises April, all right?
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- So anything that I say here is between us, OK?- Yeah, sure.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Go on.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33I'll put it this way, I can see why her family would be terrified.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Of what?- Scandal.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Embarrassment.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- April is wild.- Wild?
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- What, drink? - She drinks, but...you know.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Wild.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55- With men, all right?- Yeah, men. What kind of men?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00The wrong kinds. Fellas that would just use her.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Fellas where you'd be scratching your head wondering
0:35:03 > 0:35:05what in the name of Jesus could she possibly...
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- And has there been anybody recently? - Of course there was!
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- HE SIGHS - Don't get me wrong,
0:35:14 > 0:35:17April's a good friend, she's a REALLY nice person,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- but there's something... - HE EXHALES DRAMATICALLY
0:35:21 > 0:35:23..missing somewhere.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28I'm sorry, Doctor Quirke, there's someone on the phone for you.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Who is it? - It's an American lady.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Thanks, Jimmy.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43CORK POPS At last!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Sir?- Oh, he'll have one.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Rose, you know I've been away. - Away where?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Saint John of the Cross.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Oh, you dried out?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- Mm-hm.- Well, good for you.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09To sobriety.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12GLASSES CLINK
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I'll have them take it away.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17I don't want you back up on the Cross on my account.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- So, how's Phoebe? - She's, erm...she's good.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- And Mal?- Mal, oh, you know Mal.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31- He says, um...he says he's going to retire soon.- Retire?!
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- Well, he's far too youthful. - Well, that's what I said.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I'll tell you what he needs.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40A decent period of mourning, a year or two,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43then get married again.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Who would marry him, Rose?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- You'd be surprised, Quirke. - I WOULD be surprised.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49THEY LAUGH
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- So what about you? - What about me?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Don't you ever get lonely?- Oh!
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Who doesn't, Rose?- Nobody.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Maybe I should marry you.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I wouldn't let you do that to yourself, Rose.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16SHE LAUGHS
0:37:20 > 0:37:24ROSE'S VOICE ECHOES: Now, tell me they have fresh oysters.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34LIVELY CHATTER
0:37:38 > 0:37:39Phoebe!
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- What did you think of the match? - What match?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46What match? Oh, for crying out loud!
0:37:46 > 0:37:48What do you want to drink?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Just a tonic water, thanks. I'm meeting Patrick.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Oh!
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Excuse me!
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- We're just getting some food. You should come with us.- No.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04Something tells me I wouldn't be welcome.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Phoebe! Jimmy!
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Sorry. I forgot the match was on. Hey.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12We should go to Fratellis. It'll be quiet.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Good idea, I'm starving!- Have a drink FIRST! For Jaysus' sake!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Hey, Minor! What do you want, a pint?- Yeah, a pint.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22And here, Tommy, get me a tonic water?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- And Patrick, what do you want? - I'm all right, Jimmy, thanks.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Get him a banana! - LAUGHTER
0:38:29 > 0:38:31HE LAUGHS
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I'll see you outside, Phoebe.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Aw, Patrick! - Patrick, wait!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- You sure that's a good idea? - What are you talking about?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49You're supposed to be his friend and you don't even stand up for him.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You know, he was having it off with April, don't you?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59So what if he was? What's it to you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04He knows more than he's letting on, that's all.
0:39:05 > 0:39:12- Let go of me, Jimmy.- Just watch your step! That's all I'm saying.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Or you'll be on that boat to London too.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28- Someone give me a drink, for the love of God.- Get that into you.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- Slainte.- Slainte.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Are you all right?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Do you get that kind of thing a lot?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- IN DUBLIN ACCENT: - Well, more than I'd like!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51THEY LAUGH
0:39:54 > 0:40:00- Look, if you want to leave it tonight, I don't mind, Phoebe.- No...
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Listen, Jimmy just said something to me.- What?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Nothing. You know what he's like. - Mm.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Come on. If we hurry, we can catch the last sitting at Fratellis.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15CHURCH BELLS RING
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Glass of wine, sir? - No, thank you.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Oh, God, Mal. You didn't tell me the Judge was here.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- I, uh...assumed you knew. - Aw, Mal.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Ah, you came!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Just seeing if the old tuxedo still fits after all these years.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Well, it does. You look well, and you too, Mal.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Although you could do with a haircut, both of you. Now, come on.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Let's have a drink before dinner.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS
0:41:07 > 0:41:08Thank you.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Thank you very much.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Ah, John.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Ah, Judge.- Hiya, Bill.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- I was wondering if you'd be able to make it.- How are you, Bill?
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- Fine, thanks. Quirke.- Minister.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- I've a small bone to pick with you. - Oh?
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- I've been hearing unfavourable reports.- Like what?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37That you've been going into people's homes
0:41:37 > 0:41:40and accusing them of all sorts of things.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43They're a good family, the Latimers,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47and certainly not ones to antagonise.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I'm not antagonising them.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55You were always a pathologist. First, last and always, Quirke.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59You never leave a thing alone, until you understand it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04But some things are not for us to understand,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- should be left alone. To-to-to...- To what, to rot?
0:42:07 > 0:42:12- To die?- Don't be so naive.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14You go on like a bloody adolescent!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Like what's your man in Rebel Without A Cause.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23All I've ever done is treat you like a member of our family,
0:42:23 > 0:42:24but you know what?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27It's like you never accepted us.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30What are you talking about? Of course I've accepted you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33You think I don't know you were carrying on
0:42:33 > 0:42:35with your own brother's wife?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Your brother!
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Jesus' sake. Look at him.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Ladies and gentlemen, could you please take your seats downstairs?
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Well, Your Grace, are Wexford going to do it on Sunday?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Good evening, sir.- Good evening.
0:43:49 > 0:43:50HE SIGHS
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Can I have a glass of wine, please?
0:43:54 > 0:43:57We've a nice Chateauneuf du Pape open this evening, or...?
0:43:57 > 0:44:02- Erm... I'll have a whiskey. - Irish?- Sure.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03- Double?- Yeah.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Thank you.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31I hope I'm not disturbing you?
0:44:31 > 0:44:35- I met you at the opening night of Hedda Gabler.- Oh, yes.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Miss Galloway, of course.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42- It was an excellent performance. - Thank you for saying so.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44The barman said you were drinking whiskey?
0:44:44 > 0:44:48Oh. Thank you.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Would you care to join me?
0:44:52 > 0:44:56- Only if you don't mind. - Of course not.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00- I'm using you, actually. - Oh, really?
0:45:00 > 0:45:03The man over there at the bar?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06With the make-up and the terrible black wig.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09He's hounding me to play Pegeen Mike in a musical version
0:45:09 > 0:45:13of Playboy of the Western bloody World! Can you imagine?!
0:45:13 > 0:45:17I wish I could be of some use to you, Miss Galloway,
0:45:17 > 0:45:20but I wasn't planning on staying too long.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23Got to get up for work in the morning.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Oh, that's perfect! I can walk out with you.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31'So how do you know Phoebe?'
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- I know Phoebe through... April Latimer.- Ah.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40April sort of took Phoebe under her wing.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Although I'm not sure how much shelter there is under there.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44I hear that she's, er...
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- ..like a force of nature. - More like a bloody tornado.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55She's her own worst enemy, really.
0:45:56 > 0:46:01Our lives have gone a bit quiet all of a sudden since she...
0:46:01 > 0:46:04she's gone wherever she's gone. And to tell you the truth, there are
0:46:04 > 0:46:08quite a lot of people who wouldn't really care if she never came back.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Sad but true, I'm afraid.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12This is me.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Why don't you come in?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33SHE LAUGHS
0:46:33 > 0:46:35You can take off your coat, you know.
0:46:37 > 0:46:38No, it's just...
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Just what?
0:47:00 > 0:47:01Sorry.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Maybe we're a little drunker than I thought.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Well, I better... I better get going.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I don't want to give you the wrong idea.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18Why don't we both... get the wrong idea and...
0:47:20 > 0:47:22..see where it leads us?
0:47:28 > 0:47:29BIRDS SINGING
0:48:55 > 0:48:58Oh, by the Lord, Harry, what happened to this poor old sausage?
0:48:58 > 0:49:02Oh. Row over a bottle of wine in an alleyway.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04That's what I call a thirst.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08I have the results from forensics of the blood on April's flat.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- Well?- Hm.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18Two blood types mixed together, AB positive and AB negative.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20- And one person can't be both?- Yeah.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23AB negative is the rarest blood type there is.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27I mean, less than 1% of the population have it but...
0:49:27 > 0:49:33AB positive is more common. But you can't, as you say, be both.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Don't tell me the lab have made a cock-up?
0:49:36 > 0:49:38- I don't think so.- So?
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Well...what if the sample was post-partum?
0:49:44 > 0:49:47A mother and a baby.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50- Something like that. - Miscarriage, termination.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55OK, so she lost a child, or maybe someone helped her lose it
0:49:55 > 0:49:58and now she's recovering somewhere? It's possible.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02You're not convinced?
0:50:02 > 0:50:05There's, er...there's a lot of blood there.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10And I've been having a look at this sick note.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15No signature.
0:50:16 > 0:50:21They can be a right nuisance, Doctor Quirke, these niggling feelings.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27You don't know why you feel the way you feel, but you do,
0:50:27 > 0:50:30it's like having a hangover when you haven't had a drink.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31I'll keep my ears open.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34Unofficially, of course.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35Good luck.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36WOMAN: What do you want?! If it's about the rent,
0:51:36 > 0:51:40- you're wasting your time. - No, no, it's not about the rent.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Are you trying to take away my cat?
0:51:42 > 0:51:46No, I'm not trying to take your cat away.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Could you fix me gas fire?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50I'll have a go.
0:51:50 > 0:51:55You're not like the other men from the Gas Board.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59Well, that's because, see, I'm not really from the Gas Board.
0:51:59 > 0:52:04But I can tell you, that I think you've been cut off.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Ah, that's a distinct possibility, all right.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Now listen, if you're a Jehovah's Witness, come right out and say it.
0:52:10 > 0:52:16No, no, I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. Actually, I'm a doctor.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Do you happen to know the girl who lives upstairs?
0:52:22 > 0:52:24Of course I know her, she does me shopping for me,
0:52:24 > 0:52:28that's why I'm starving in here! You see, I couldn't go out,
0:52:28 > 0:52:33- because there was all men coming up and down out there.- What men?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35Men, coming up the stairs.
0:52:35 > 0:52:41And I heard her crying. And so I just kept me door shut.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Who...who was crying?
0:52:44 > 0:52:48And there was a man that night, my God,
0:52:48 > 0:52:52he looked as if he'd sprung from the very pit of Hell itself!
0:52:55 > 0:52:57NURSES CHATTING
0:53:02 > 0:53:03She's all yours, Doctor.
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Doctor!
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Oh...thank you, Sister.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12- Everything all right, Doctor Ojukwu? - Morning, Doctor Griffin.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14- Chop, chop, eh?- Yes, sir.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17- Morning, Sister. - Morning, Doctor Griffin.
0:53:26 > 0:53:27Hiya, Dermot. Can I go in?
0:53:27 > 0:53:30I wouldn't go in just at the moment, Doctor.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Speak of the devil! Hope you're proud of yourself too!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Here, keep it as a souvenir.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40And I'll tell you this for the very last time,
0:53:40 > 0:53:44you stay away from my family, all of you, do you hear me?!
0:53:44 > 0:53:48And you...you look to your sense of decency, sir.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Or by Christ, you'll regret that you ever stuck your nose into this.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55I'll walk you out, Minister. What are you looking at?
0:53:55 > 0:53:59Get back to work, you lazy sods, what's the matter with ye?
0:53:59 > 0:54:01PHONES RINGING
0:54:01 > 0:54:06Well, Doctor. You've done it now, haven't you?
0:54:07 > 0:54:08You fancy a drink?
0:54:10 > 0:54:15Listen, for myself, I know you're only trying to help,
0:54:15 > 0:54:18but this kind of thing will cause uncle Bill hell in the Cabinet
0:54:18 > 0:54:19which is why he's so...
0:54:22 > 0:54:27See, no-one really understands what it is to be a Latimer.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32My father carried James Connolly out of the GPO after the surrender.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34He shared a cell with Eamon De Valera.
0:54:34 > 0:54:39He lost his friends, family, everything to free this country.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Whereas uncle Bill, I'm sure you know...
0:54:44 > 0:54:47..people don't respect him as much as they did my father.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51- He never said anything about the blood.- What blood?
0:54:51 > 0:54:54- The blood that we found beside April's bed.- What kind of blood?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57April's kind.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Why didn't you say anything?
0:55:02 > 0:55:05Because up to now we didn't know whose it was.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08This is...
0:55:08 > 0:55:09Obviously we'll have to, er...
0:55:10 > 0:55:12God!
0:55:12 > 0:55:14What happened?
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Accident,
0:55:17 > 0:55:18miscarriage,
0:55:18 > 0:55:21who can say?
0:55:21 > 0:55:25- Until the family files a report, the police can't...- No, um...
0:55:25 > 0:55:29obviously I'll talk to uncle Bill,
0:55:29 > 0:55:34get onto the police and see if they can, you know...quietly.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36Unless you know where she is.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38I wish I did.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42You could try asking some of her so-called friends.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44- Like who?- I don't know.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47Half of them are low-lifes, I can't remember.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49And the men... Christ, I dread to even...
0:55:50 > 0:55:53There's that Nigerian chap, works at the hospital.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55Can't keep his hands off the nurses.
0:55:55 > 0:56:00- Someone even told me that himself and April had...- Mm.
0:56:01 > 0:56:02Look, I better get back.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Can I give you a lift?
0:56:07 > 0:56:11- I think I'll walk. - Good luck, Quirke.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11Oh.
0:57:11 > 0:57:12The evening!

0:57:38 > 0:57:39Mal!
0:57:41 > 0:57:42Mal!
0:57:44 > 0:57:46- What happened? - Where have you been?
0:57:46 > 0:57:48I was... I...

0:58:02 > 0:58:05Mrs O'Halloran found him on the kitchen floor this morning.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11- Is there anywhere around here I can get a coffee?- Oh, for Christ's sake!
0:58:13 > 0:58:16Phoebe. Go home with him.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19Make sure he eats.
0:58:21 > 0:58:23I'll call you if there's any change.
0:58:38 > 0:58:43- I called in there today. - To April's?
0:58:43 > 0:58:45I met with April's neighbour.
0:58:45 > 0:58:51She told me that she'd seen a black man going up to April's flat.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57- Do you happen to know who that might be?- No.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03What about the African man I met you with at the play?
0:59:03 > 0:59:05Er...no. He didn't know April.
0:59:09 > 0:59:13The Latimers have complained me to the police,
0:59:13 > 0:59:17- so I've been warned away.- I know.
0:59:17 > 0:59:21- And Jimmy's been sacked as well. - Who?
0:59:21 > 0:59:23Jimmy Minor.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25He wrote the piece about April in the paper.
0:59:26 > 0:59:31- Why did they sack him? - For writing the piece.
0:59:33 > 0:59:35HE SIGHS
0:59:38 > 0:59:43- You want me to make you some dinner? - Er...no thanks.
0:59:43 > 0:59:45I think I'll just go to bed.
0:59:45 > 0:59:49- You want me to sit here for a few minutes?- I'm not going to drink.
0:59:49 > 0:59:51- I'll light the fire. - I said I'm not going to drink.
0:59:55 > 0:59:57Please don't hate me.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01Why would I hate you?
1:00:01 > 1:00:04- Because Delia died giving birth to me.- For Jesus' sake,
1:00:04 > 1:00:07- what are you talking about? - I wouldn't blame you.
1:00:09 > 1:00:13And I understand under the circumstances why you gave me away.
1:00:13 > 1:00:14I did NOT give you away!
1:00:18 > 1:00:20Mal and Sarah, they...
1:00:20 > 1:00:24- they were able to give you things that...- It doesn't matter.
1:00:25 > 1:00:28I've forgiven you. OK?
1:00:28 > 1:00:31- You've forgiven me?- Yes, I have.
1:00:31 > 1:00:34Why do you think I would need your forgiveness?
1:00:34 > 1:00:37Well... No, it's just that it...
1:00:37 > 1:00:39No, listen to me, I don't need your forgiveness
1:00:39 > 1:00:43and I don't need anybody else's! Have you got that?

1:02:54 > 1:02:58- Did you ever visit her in her flat? - Yes, of course.

1:03:06 > 1:03:07What?
1:03:10 > 1:03:14Well, someone spoke to April's neighbour...
1:03:14 > 1:03:20and she said that...she saw a black man going up to April's apartment
1:03:20 > 1:03:21and that April was crying.

1:03:28 > 1:03:31- Is that why you came here?- No!
1:03:31 > 1:03:34- Well, yeah. - I think you should go, Phoebe.
1:03:34 > 1:03:38- Why?- Because I thought you came here to see me,
1:03:38 > 1:03:41not because you think I had something to do with what's happened to April.
1:03:41 > 1:03:44- I don't! - So why did you come here?
1:03:44 > 1:03:47- Why are you asking me this? - Because I was jealous!

1:08:21 > 1:08:23I don't believe that.
1:08:28 > 1:08:33I think maybe the real reason I came here last night was to...
1:08:34 > 1:08:36..was to ask...
1:08:42 > 1:08:44Hm? Ask me what?
1:08:47 > 1:08:49To help me.
1:08:54 > 1:08:56God, I don't know about that!
1:08:57 > 1:08:59Please?
1:09:08 > 1:09:10I could try.
1:09:27 > 1:09:29You've hardly touched your food!
1:09:31 > 1:09:33I was thinking about work.
1:09:35 > 1:09:39- Have you ever considered coming back to Boston with me?- I don't think so.
1:09:39 > 1:09:41You're crazy!
1:09:41 > 1:09:46If I had your brains, I wouldn't waste my youth in some damn hat shop!
1:09:46 > 1:09:47Come home with me.
1:09:47 > 1:09:51- You could enrol in college, you could even apply for...- I can't!
1:09:52 > 1:09:54Why not?
1:09:59 > 1:10:00You know, there comes a time when
1:10:00 > 1:10:03you have to stop trying to be the good daughter
1:10:03 > 1:10:06or the good little girl or whoever it is you're trying to be.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08Oh, yeah? And what should I be trying to be?
1:10:08 > 1:10:10How about yourself?
1:10:30 > 1:10:32KNOCK ON DOOR Yes?
1:10:34 > 1:10:36- Doctor Griffin?- Patrick.
1:10:36 > 1:10:38What can I do for you?
1:10:38 > 1:10:43I was...wondering if you knew anything about this?
1:10:43 > 1:10:45What is it?
1:10:45 > 1:10:49It's a letter from the Minister of Justice about my immigration status.
1:10:49 > 1:10:50How would I know about it?
1:10:50 > 1:10:53Well, my visa is contingent on my studies here at this hospital.
1:10:57 > 1:10:59Hm.
1:11:00 > 1:11:04You do know that April Latimer's uncle is the Minister?
1:11:04 > 1:11:07- I don't know where she is. - Fair enough.
1:11:07 > 1:11:10But if her uncle is trying to kick you out of the country,
1:11:10 > 1:11:12it suggests that he thinks otherwise.
1:11:14 > 1:11:15I don't.
1:11:17 > 1:11:21Hm. Well...
1:11:21 > 1:11:23I can give you a letter that says
1:11:23 > 1:11:25the hospital couldn't possibly do without you.
1:11:25 > 1:11:30- Thank you, Doctor Griffin. - Or, I could tell them about...
1:11:30 > 1:11:34I don't know, a misdiagnosis here,
1:11:34 > 1:11:37a sloppy prescription there.
1:11:37 > 1:11:41And you might suddenly start to look even more dangerous.
1:11:41 > 1:11:43Why would you do that?
1:11:43 > 1:11:47I don't give a tinker's damn where April Latimer is.
1:11:47 > 1:11:49I don't even like her.
1:11:50 > 1:11:52But Phoebe loves her.
1:11:53 > 1:11:58So if you do know anything, I want to know too.
1:12:02 > 1:12:05- Let's go down to pathology, shall we? - Pathology?
1:12:12 > 1:12:13She asked me for my help.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19She was very brave and we...
1:12:21 > 1:12:22..we did it.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26You terminated her pregnancy?
1:12:27 > 1:12:28Yes.
1:12:29 > 1:12:30At her flat?
1:12:30 > 1:12:35Well, it wasn't my baby, if that's what you're thinking, all right?
1:12:35 > 1:12:39I stayed with her that night and she was fine.
1:12:39 > 1:12:40But the following evening...
1:12:43 > 1:12:44..she phoned me...
1:12:46 > 1:12:47She was bleeding.
1:12:50 > 1:12:54I told her to...get an ambulance, I begged her.
1:12:55 > 1:12:56But she absolutely forbade it.
1:12:58 > 1:13:00I went straight there and I...
1:13:02 > 1:13:04..I did what I could, but...
1:13:06 > 1:13:08But what?
1:13:08 > 1:13:11- She was alive when I left her. - You LEFT her?!
1:13:13 > 1:13:16- I'm not saying anything else.- Why?!
1:13:16 > 1:13:19- Because she made me promise. - Ah, for crying out loud!
1:13:19 > 1:13:21- Is that really important now?- Yes.
1:13:21 > 1:13:23- If she's alive, it is. - And if she's dead?
1:13:25 > 1:13:29Look, I made a promise to her, all right?
1:13:29 > 1:13:32I made a promise.
1:13:32 > 1:13:36If you want to know any more, why don't you ask her family?
1:13:39 > 1:13:40What makes a man like that
1:13:40 > 1:13:43risk everything for the likes of April Latimer?
1:13:44 > 1:13:47Whatever it is, he's not going to tell us.
1:13:47 > 1:13:50It must be his baby.
1:13:50 > 1:13:54You can imagine how that went down with the Latimers and their precious family.
1:13:54 > 1:13:58A black baby is up there with incest for the likes of Bill Latimer.
1:13:58 > 1:14:01And Oscar Latimer, my God!
1:14:01 > 1:14:05Although Patrick is actually a prince in his own country,
1:14:05 > 1:14:07so that might make the difference.
1:14:09 > 1:14:13Yeah, erm, I left my keys inside. I'll telephone you later.
1:14:15 > 1:14:20There's some chicken stew at home, if you'd like.
1:14:37 > 1:14:39I'm afraid you've wasted your trip, Doctor Quirke.
1:14:39 > 1:14:41My son is not at home.
1:14:43 > 1:14:44Do you know where he is?
1:14:44 > 1:14:47I don't think that's any of your business, Doctor Quirke.
1:14:47 > 1:14:50But if you must know, he's in town tonight.
1:14:50 > 1:14:53Corpus Christi have seen fit to grace my late husband
1:14:53 > 1:14:55with a Legion of Honour Medal
1:14:55 > 1:14:58and Oscar is to collect it on his behalf.
1:14:59 > 1:15:04- You're not going yourself? - It's men only tonight.
1:15:04 > 1:15:06Naturally.
1:15:07 > 1:15:10Can I give him a message for you?
1:15:12 > 1:15:13No, thank you.
1:15:14 > 1:15:19CHURCH BELLS RING All men are heroes to their sons.
1:15:19 > 1:15:22But few are heroes to entire nations.
1:15:22 > 1:15:24That was my father's privilege.
1:15:25 > 1:15:27If my father...
1:15:28 > 1:15:29..if...
1:15:31 > 1:15:34..my father was here tonight,
1:15:34 > 1:15:38he would be so proud.
1:15:38 > 1:15:44And it is therefore with some pride that I stand here before you
1:15:44 > 1:15:49to accept this great honour in memory of my father, Connor Latimer,
1:15:49 > 1:15:53a patriarch, and a patriot. Thank you.
1:15:53 > 1:15:55APPLAUSE
1:16:10 > 1:16:13For God's sake! What is it now, Quirke?
1:16:13 > 1:16:15People are starting to worry about you, you know that?
1:16:15 > 1:16:19- I spoke to Patrick Ojukwu this evening.- Who?
1:16:19 > 1:16:24He confessed to performing an abortion on your sister, April, in her flat.
1:16:24 > 1:16:26I thought you should know that.
1:16:29 > 1:16:32- But then you already do, don't you? - I know nothing of the sort.
1:16:32 > 1:16:36- Who is this, er, Patrick Ojonko? - Patrick Ojukwu.
1:16:36 > 1:16:40He's the man who asked you to come and save your sister.
1:16:41 > 1:16:45- But she died, didn't she? - How the hell would I know?
1:16:45 > 1:16:50- Because you hid her body. - I did no such thing.
1:16:50 > 1:16:54His was the consciousness, not just of a man,
1:16:54 > 1:16:56- but of a people. - APPLAUSE
1:16:56 > 1:16:59Ojukwu called you because she was bleeding to death,
1:16:59 > 1:17:02but you panicked. And you hid her body.
1:17:02 > 1:17:06- And why would I do that? - Because she was carrying your baby.
1:17:08 > 1:17:09Listen to yourself.
1:17:11 > 1:17:16- She was my SISTER, for Christ's sake! - That's why you had to hide the body,
1:17:16 > 1:17:18because of the scandal.
1:17:18 > 1:17:22- She botched her own abortion and you couldn't clean it up.- No.
1:17:22 > 1:17:25The baby's blood was AB negative, the same as yours.
1:17:25 > 1:17:28You must have thought it was a long shot
1:17:28 > 1:17:31that anybody would put two and two together,
1:17:31 > 1:17:35but you couldn't take the chance, could you?
1:17:35 > 1:17:39I'm going to give you 30 seconds to get out of this building.
1:17:39 > 1:17:42It's only because I know that you've got a drink problem.
1:17:42 > 1:17:46But if you're not gone by then, I'm going to have you thrown out.
1:17:46 > 1:17:51And I'm going to see to it personally that you're struck off.
1:17:51 > 1:17:55- Look, your little bird is missing a wing.- What?
1:17:56 > 1:18:00- I think I might have it here. - What are you talking about?
1:18:00 > 1:18:03- Go home, Quirke. - Well, look at that.
1:18:06 > 1:18:07Perfect.
1:18:07 > 1:18:09Know where I found that?
1:18:10 > 1:18:13In April's flat.
1:18:13 > 1:18:14APPLAUSE CONTINUES
1:18:25 > 1:18:28You let her die, Oscar.
1:18:31 > 1:18:33You let her die.
1:18:38 > 1:18:39No!
1:18:42 > 1:18:45- Everything all right, gentlemen? - Yes, yes, everything's all right.
1:18:45 > 1:18:48And now, gentlemen, may I ask you
1:18:48 > 1:18:52all to be upstanding, for my brother, Connor Latimer?
1:18:55 > 1:18:57I tried to save her, Quirke.
1:18:58 > 1:19:00There was nothing I could do.
1:19:03 > 1:19:05I thank you. Thank you.
1:19:10 > 1:19:13I never loved anyone like I loved April.
1:19:14 > 1:19:19I was telling the truth about not seeing her for four years,
1:19:19 > 1:19:22until one night at the end of October
1:19:22 > 1:19:26when we bumped into each other on South Anne Street.
1:19:27 > 1:19:30She was drunk out of her mind,
1:19:30 > 1:19:33didn't know where she was. So...
1:19:35 > 1:19:40..I put her in a taxi and I brought her home and I, I...
1:19:42 > 1:19:44..went in.
1:19:50 > 1:19:57She was, er...barely conscious, she didn't know it was me, I don't think.
1:19:59 > 1:20:04And I...don't know why I did it... HE SOBS
1:20:06 > 1:20:12..to obliterate it or to control it or...
1:20:12 > 1:20:14Oh, Christ!
1:20:17 > 1:20:19To obliterate what, Oscar?
1:20:19 > 1:20:21We were just...
1:20:24 > 1:20:25We were just children...
1:20:28 > 1:20:34..and our heroic father would come in stinking of drink
1:20:34 > 1:20:37and he'd tell us both to get into the bed
1:20:37 > 1:20:40and then he'd...he'd...
1:20:41 > 1:20:44Oh, Christ! HE SOBS
1:20:44 > 1:20:46Oscar.
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Even when he died, it didn't...
1:20:53 > 1:20:58We just didn't speak to each other any more until that night.
1:20:58 > 1:21:00What's going on here?
1:21:00 > 1:21:04Patrick called me and told me what they had done.
1:21:05 > 1:21:07And I knew it was my baby.
1:21:09 > 1:21:11And there was nothing I could do.
1:21:13 > 1:21:16She died about ten minutes after I got there.
1:21:16 > 1:21:18God help her, God help her!
1:21:18 > 1:21:21HE SOBS
1:21:21 > 1:21:26- I watched her die. - He doesn't know what he's saying.
1:21:26 > 1:21:28This has nothing to do with you!
1:21:28 > 1:21:30What do you mean, it has nothing to do with me?
1:21:30 > 1:21:33Have you any idea what you're saying?
1:21:33 > 1:21:35Oscar?
1:21:35 > 1:21:36Where's April's body?
1:21:47 > 1:21:50HE SOBS
1:22:22 > 1:22:23Congratulations.
1:22:28 > 1:22:29How did you get on?
1:22:29 > 1:22:34Well, they extended my visa.
1:22:34 > 1:22:36Because of this?
1:22:36 > 1:22:38Wow!
1:22:38 > 1:22:41That is...
1:22:41 > 1:22:43Want a drink?
1:22:47 > 1:22:48Hey...
1:22:50 > 1:22:52Hey! There, now.
1:22:54 > 1:22:56It's all right.
1:22:58 > 1:23:00You did your best. You did your best.
1:23:08 > 1:23:11"After a jittery final fence,
1:23:11 > 1:23:16"Persian Tiara suddenly managed to surge.
1:23:16 > 1:23:21"The crowd roared their approval for a fitting finale to..."
1:23:21 > 1:23:22KNOCK ON DOOR
1:23:25 > 1:23:27Just thought I'd say goodbye.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38- When are you off? - Rose is calling for me at seven
1:23:38 > 1:23:40and I fly out tonight.
1:23:43 > 1:23:45I don't suppose you'll miss me?
1:23:52 > 1:23:57I'm really sorry that things turned out so badly for your friend April.
1:24:01 > 1:24:02It's funny, isn't it?
1:24:03 > 1:24:07Out of everyone, you were the only one who...
1:24:07 > 1:24:09HE COUGHS
1:24:11 > 1:24:15- Are you all right? - My boy! My boy.
1:24:15 > 1:24:20- Were we at the races just now? - No. I was reading you the results.
1:24:20 > 1:24:24Go back to sleep. You'll be as right as rain.
1:24:25 > 1:24:29We were going in the school gates a few minutes ago.
1:24:31 > 1:24:35You'll be all right. Get some sleep.
1:24:35 > 1:24:40- I know... I know it's wrong. - What is?
1:24:40 > 1:24:42I always loved you more than anyone else.
1:24:44 > 1:24:46Why do you think that is?
1:24:47 > 1:24:50- Bad judgment, maybe.- Hah!
1:24:50 > 1:24:53I won't be able to give you your presents on Christmas morning.
1:24:53 > 1:24:56- Of course you will.- Ah!
1:24:56 > 1:25:00You used to ask me if I knew who put you in the orphanage.
1:25:00 > 1:25:05I said I didn't know, but I do... I do know.
1:25:05 > 1:25:07It was me.
1:25:10 > 1:25:16No! You-you took me out, Dad, you gave me a home.
1:25:16 > 1:25:19Yes, but I also put you in.
1:25:19 > 1:25:22We had no choice, we couldn't get married, we had no money.
1:25:22 > 1:25:27Broke my heart, nearly killed me, I swear to God!
1:25:27 > 1:25:29But as soon as I could I got you out.
1:25:29 > 1:25:33Every night, I dreamt you were calling to get me
1:25:33 > 1:25:35to come back and get you.
1:25:35 > 1:25:37I did in the end.
1:25:42 > 1:25:43I always knew.
1:25:45 > 1:25:46Who told you?
1:25:49 > 1:25:50Nobody.
1:25:58 > 1:26:00Who was my mother, Dad?
1:26:00 > 1:26:04No, I can't...
1:26:04 > 1:26:06HE SOBS
1:26:06 > 1:26:09I can't...
1:26:42 > 1:26:47If you're coming back this way, let me know and I'll buy you lunch.
1:26:49 > 1:26:51Yeah. That'd be great.
1:26:54 > 1:26:56Listen... I wanted to give you this.
1:26:59 > 1:27:02I was going to give it to Mal to give to you.
1:27:02 > 1:27:06- It belonged to your mother.- Thanks.
